Generalized skew derivations on Lie ideals in prime rings (Q2422584): Difference between revisions

The topic of this article under review belongs to the theory of polynomial identities of non-commutative rings. The authors continue the study of commuting power values on Lie ideals of a prime ring, involving a generalized skew derivation instead of generalized derivation. More precisely, let $R$ be a prime ring of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$, $L$ a noncentral Lie ideal of $R$, $F$ a nonzero generalized skew derivation of $R$ and $n\geq 1$ be a fixed integer such that $[F(u), u]^n=0$ for all $u\in L$. Suppose that $R$ does not satisfy the standard polynomial identity $s_4$, then either there exists an element $a$ in $C$ such that $F(x)=ax$ for all $x\in R$ or there exists $a\in C$ and $b\in Q$ such that $F(x)=ax+[b, x]$ for all $x\in R$.
